Determined to join the ranks of crime-fighters against the wishes of her police-captain father, Barbara Gordon dons a caped costume to become Batgirl, and must overcome Batman's skepticism while taking on archvillain Killer Moth. From comics masters Chuck Dixon, Scott Beatty and Marcos Martin, Barbara Gordon's first year in the Batsuit is chronicled in this new hardcover edition!
